Blackcomb Helicopters sold

A Vancouver-based company, MCM Aviation, has bought the
long-standing local operation Blackcomb Helicopters.

The deal was announced on Dec. 21.

MCM Aviation is a joint venture between The McLean Group and
Omega Aviation. The purchase was designed to meet the increasing demand for
aviation services, particularly along the Sea to Sky corridor.

Blackcomb Helicopters has been operating in the area since
1989, providing a range of services from sight-seeing tours to fire fighting
and film and movie production services.

Owner Steve Flynn will join MCM Aviation as the general
manager.

“Having an integrated operation right through the corridor
positions us as the dominant helicopter operator in the whole area,” said
Flynn. “Having built this company up with my wife Michele over 17 years, I am
really excited about the opportunity to take it to the next level.”

The financial details of the deal were not made public.
Blackcomb Helicopters will continue to operate under that name.
